Even though parts of the country are still freezing, now is the time to start planning your summer vacation.

And where better to go than Disneyland in sunny Anaheim, California?

But no matter what time of year you're traveling, tickets to the acclaimed Disney park can get extremely expensive.

Luckily Gavin Doyle, the 17-year-old who founded the website Disney Dose, has another site dedicated to saving money at the Disney Parks called MickeyVisit.com.

From when to book your hotel to how to get a free sundae, here are his best money-saving tips.

Pick up a Disneyland button at City Hall for your birthday, anniversary, or if it’s your first visit at the park. Cast members will congratulate you and you’ll get free ice cream sundaes.

Bring your own breakfast and lunch to the park. It will not only save you money, but while everyone else is standing in line for food, you'll be taking advantage of shorter lines from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Buy your tickets for the off-season. January through the beginning of May will be significantly less crowded and more affordable than peak times like June through August and December.
